Internet & Social Media Investigative Techniques Workshop

September 9, 2015 by Julia Dreyer

searchWe are offering a hands-on, three day workshop that will provide students with the latest techniques used to effectively gather online information for investigative purposes relating to persons, companies, and other assets. Students will be introduced to the methods of gathering online intelligence through social media platforms, search engines, and dark web searches. In addition, students will learn how to assess potential counter-intelligence concerns.
